Gold and Silver Prices Decline Slightly Amid Dollar Strength and Geopolitical Tensions
Gold and silver prices declined slightly across major Indian cities on October 6, 2026, influenced by a stronger US dollar, elevated US Treasury yields, and ongoing geopolitical tensions involving the US and Iran. Domestic gold rates for 24K, 22K, and 18K varieties fell marginally, with silver prices also dropping. Analysts noted that while short-term pressures persist, physical demand during India's festive season and central bank purchases may support prices going forward.
